Flower, Gem & Crystal Essences are simple and easy to use.
How to Use An Essence
Essences are normally taken orally 4 drops on or under the tongue.
Allow the essence to mix with the saliva in the mouth for a few moments before swallowing. Ensure when taking essences that the glass dropper does not touch the tongue or the essence may become contaminated.
It is better to take essences at least ten minutes away from food.

How many Essences can I use at one time?
Bach Flower Remedies
We recommend that you use these remedies made up into combinations of 7 or 8 individual remedies, which will help you to work on a number of different issues at the same time. We don't recommend including essences from other groups in these combinations.
A well-chosen combination of Bach Flower Remedies is very helpful in its own right, but can also be very helpful when taken alongside one of our deeper acting combinations.
Single Flower Essences & Gem/Crystal Essences
You can take up to 6 of these essences together either separately or in a combination. To make a combination mix equal quantities of each chosen essence in a clean bottle.
We wouldn't normally recommend using any other essences other whilst using a combination of this type, except the Bach Remedies.
Karmic Essences
Take these separately from each other (and other essences except Bach Flower Remedies). Follow the dosage instructions carefully for these.
Angel Essences
You can take these separately or mix 2 or 3 together, although it is often more powerful to work with each Angel separately.
Divine Harmony Essences, Chakra Essences, Rose Collection Combinations, Inner Child Essences and Light Body Essences
Each of these is a powerful combination of at least 5 different essences so we recommend that you take these one at a time and do not take any essences other than Bach Flower Remedies at the same time.
Expectant or nursing mothers and children
Expectant or nursing mothers
As a nursing or expectant mother Crystal Herbs Bach Flower Remedies would be your best choice for self diagnosis.
Before using any of the other essences on this site we recommend that you seek the advice of a qualified practitioner.
